I had the same problem. Putting in a new starter relay and changing out the battery cables fixed the issue.

I had this same problem First check the fuse. Second check the 4.8 amp circuit breaker at the bottom of the fuse panel (these are common to go out but you have to get them at the dealer and they run about $30.00)Third check the switch with the switch key on wiper switch on take your test light and pierce the coating on the wire if those three thing are good your should get power on your test light no juice the check those three again. Finally take the motor hook it up with jumper wires to the battery, be sure you know which wire is hot when you do this. I dont know what colors are which you could consult a Haynes or Chilton manual for this

I would try to use small tack welds all the way around the latch if I had to weld it...but my advice is to hold the fuel door in place, or have someone hold it for you, and then drill two small holes through the hinge and into the body of the car, and screw two small metal screws into place. If the heads of the screws are getting in the way, you can grind them down with a small rotary tool or likewise to where about 1mm is left of the screw, and that should solve your problem.

The Jeep Comanche came out in 1987 with a AMC 4.0L in line 6 cylinder engine. This engine is a perfect fit for the 1986 Comanche. My 1986 4x4 was originally shipped with a Renault Diesel engine. The engine was pulled and replaced with the 1987 AMC 4.0L in line 6 which is still running at 260 000KM. These engines can be picked up for anything from $200 - $2000. But why not sell your Comanche and buy a 4.0L in line 6 with 4x4.

First you need to remove the trim around the instrument cluster,and heater controls. This ia one solid piece and there are a few screws holding in in place. Once you remove that the stereo should be able to be removed and wiring exposed

Today's date is October 13, 2005 and this ad is on eBay today:

WINDOW MOTOR JEEP Cherokee, 84-86

starting price is 55.00 and buy it now is 80.00; at the time of purchase you let the seller know which window you need the motor for. I assume that means they have them in stock.

The parking brake adjustment on a Jeep Comanche is where the cable is split from the one main cable to the two wheel cables. The splitter assembly is bolted to the bottom of the bed, slightly forward of where the driveshaft attaches to the rear axle. To do the adjustment you will need at least one 13mm open-end wrench and probably two if the locking nut is still there. Because this assembly is exposed to whatever the roads may have to splash on it, you may need a pair of vice-grips too. The vice-grips are used to hold the squared end of a threaded rod if it wants to turn while doing the adjustment. Anyway, depending on how many nuts are still present, the idea is to tighten the one that is in the cable splitter until you have the correct amount of slack in the wheel cables. Make sure that there is still some slack because you don't want the brakes being applied when they are not supposed to be. A good adjustment is when you step on the pedal and start to feel resistance at about half-way down. Try to be in the habit of only using as much pressure as necessary to hold your truck for the conditions at each stop. The release mechanisms on Comanches are notorious for breaking off when constantly used to release heavily-applied parking brakes.

I had a similar problem with mine. As well the engine would rattle just after stepping on the gas only. I suspected rocker arms. Retorquing them did help with power but did not solve the problem. After tearing things apart, and my truck dying, I discovered the cause of the problem, the connecting rod bearings. 2 bearings where spinning and one was fused to the crank. The slop in these bearings was making all the noise. Interestingly the rattle always sounded like it was coming from the back of the engine or on the passenger side of the engine, not the bottom where I would have expected it to be coming from. I hope that helps.

The "part-time" indicator light illuminates when the vehicle's transmission is positioned into the 4 wheel drive status. Once the vehicle is returned to 2 wheel drive the front hub locks disengage and the indicator light goes out.

Neutral safety switch is on the passenger side of the transmission oddly enough. It is delicate and can be easily broken as it is made of bakelite material and will not take much stress. DO NOT PRY on this device when making adjustments. They cost in the range of $180 to replace. Keep in mind that this same switch is what turns on the backup lights as well as allowing the Jeep to start in Park. So if you have trouble with backup lights AND/OR the thing won't start in Park (but will in Neutral) this is the likely culprit. Here is a link to some pictures so you know what you are looking at. http://newton.tek-ed.com/jeep/thumb0001.htm And here are some generic instructions from a fellow Jeeper (thanks to Ed Kummel for the following post): "The device is on the passenger side of the transmission opposite of the shift linkage. If the underside of your Jeep is like mine, then the shaft that this device is on is gunked and corroded and difficult to remove. If you're lucky, then you won't really have to remove the device. To adjust the switch, you will need several people (at least two) Loosen the bolt at the top. The hole is slotted which will allow for ~a little~ ammount of play. Have one person in the car with their foot on the brake and the shifter in reverse (with the key on of course). Have the second person behind the car looking for the reverse light. You are under the car moving the switch through the slotted play. When the person in the back sees the reverse light, top moving the switch and tighten it down...and hopefully you're done! If this doesn't fix your problem, then you will need further work. Removing this thing is a real problem. The metal is a cheap pot metal and the plastic is bakelite. So, it will shatter with a minimal amount of force. Plus the wiring harness is wire-tied to the main harness leading up to the engine compartment! So, don't force it!"

Yes I swapped a bench from a '91 into an '89, mounts were the same. I understand that you just can't go Comanche to Cherokee, and vice versa.

If you *know* the alternator is good, like you just replaced it, or removed it and had it tested down at the autoparts store, then it could be any number of problems. Check all cables and connections between the battery and alternator. This includes cleaning the connection terminals on the battery (they make a special wire brush for this purpose). If that is all done and the problem still exists, then it is probably a bad battery. Check the fluid levels in the battery, if they are fine then take it down to the autoparts store and have it tested as well.
